Don't get me started on customer their support either! Just the same, the returns have time and time again been worth the effort for our clients and the same can be said for MSN especially now that Bing has gained some additional market share. In Yahoo's case, they default you in to their content network like Google but unlike Google they only have 2 keyword match types - standard and advanced. You'll want to make sure you're on standard to begin with as that's closer to Google's phrase and exact match and will get you better quality traffic. Advanced is the equivalent of broad and is of course on by default which is likely why you didn't get good results with it the first time around. As always, just give me a shout to let me know if you need a hand with either of the three engines... Steve,

I find it odd that you found it a lot of work to maintain your adwords campaigns. These days, I check up on my adwords only once a month depending on the shopping season. @Evelyn

I had some free credits so I let it run for a few months but never really got many clicks and very few conversions. Ultimately, I decided to focus my energies on Adwords. I have yet to try MSN however. Maybe I'll give it another shot now that they have Bing @Xurxo

For example, many competitors have popped up in our territory in the past 2 years alone. I think it's about making your store unique and compelling for customers for factors other than just price. @Carla
